2-Star Hotels in Canterbury, New Zealand

It had a private toilet and shower, but there were also public ones in the hallway, which was okay. The room was tiny though, just bearable, but definitely not worth the price, sigh. And the soundproofing was terrible.

The motel room is very clean, the car also has a place to park, not far from the city center, and overall is good. The only thing is that the sound insulation is not very good. We live in a small villa facing the street. The single-story glass on the second floor is a bit noisy when there is a big car. But still recommended, the Chinese at the front desk are more lax

When I checked into the hotel that day, the front desk lady was very enthusiastic, introduced the basic situation of the hotel, and specially said that the door was closed at night, how to open the door, and then introduced the parking spot for the Christchurch bus, and walked less.

The score I'm giving is for the environment – it's right across from the lake, and the view is absolutely beautiful. The room itself is very minimalist: one bed, three stools, with one of them conveniently placed by the head of the bed, perfect for holding a phone.

The hotel is about 10 minutes drive from the airport. There is a gas station nearby, which is convenient for late arrivals. The key is placed in a box at the front desk door, which is very convenient for self-check-in. The TV in the room is very new and can watch YouTube. The kitchen is a bit small, but the things are quite complete. There is a bottle of milk in the refrigerator, which I thought was left by the previous guest. The room has a private bathroom, which is good. It is very cost-effective for many people. The supermarket is 10 minutes drive away.

I had a single night here in a small unit. It was very clean, and well set up with a table and chairs, small fridge, microwave, cutlery etc. The internet worked well, and the bed was comfortable. I stayed on one of the coldest nights in years (it snowed!) but was kept nice and warm. They use a self check in system, but I still have not found the email with the entry code - luckily, the owners arrived just as I was trying to check in (they can also be contacted by phone). I was able to park by the unit but turning around might be awkward when the place is busy. The motel is in the line of motels on Papanui Road, and a short drive to Merivale Mall for great coffeee at the Savoire Café.

It was a wonderful stay at the accommodation. Check in is super easy and they will give you the instructions beforehand. The hosts have been very nice and helpful. Anything you need it’s just a call away and they will get it right away for you! It’s a good place to stay if you are traveling to Lake Tekapo the next day too!

A 15-minute walk from the Church of the Good Shepherd, this place has a quiet and lovely courtyard with blooming flowers. Check-in and check-out are self-service with key retrieval and return. This time I booked a room with a shared bathroom, but it was conveniently located right next to my room in the same building. There's also a large communal kitchen and dining area, which is great for preparing your own meals.

New Regent Street just at the back of this building.There is tram stop and many restaurants available.For groceries, Pak N Save is about 1km away at the end of Manchester Street.

Room is a bit cramped when full, but when I stayed we had people come and stay for one day only. So not too full. I can’t state enough, I love the idea of turning historic jail to accommodation, which is incredible idea. Kitchen is clean and huge, each bed has their own storage for pantry things in the kitchen, cozy corner is wonderful, books and puzzles! Love loveee! They have two best employees; pumpkin and onion🐈⬛🐈 If you like walking, it’s just 30is min to city centre and there where botanical garden is.
